Biography :
 
Georges Jacob (1739-1814) – Master’s degree on September 4, 1765.
 
He is the most famous and the most creative of all the carpenters in the seat of the XVIIIth century in France.
At the forefront of its wealthy clientele is the royal family.
 
Georges Jacob was born in 1739 in Cheny in the Burgundy region. Son of Etienne Jacob and Françoise Beaujean, ploughmen.
He arrived very young in Paris in 1755 as an apprentice carpenter with Jean-Baptiste Lerouge established rue de Charenton. He then entered as a companion with Louis Delanois, the supplier of Madame du Barry, mistress of Louis XV. Promoter of the neoclassical style in the seat, Delanois undoubtedly exerts an influence on Jacob's models.
 
Received master in 1765 thanks to a small gilded wood seat, Jacob subsequently created his own workshop from scratch.
Two years later, he married Jeanne-Germaine Loyer from a family of master embroiderers.
Established in his early years in rue de Cléry, his workshops were moved to 1775 rue Meslée where the most favorable period of his career took place and where the greatest royal commissions were carried out.
Georges Jacob is an innovator: it is also in the arrangement and decoration of the legs and in the arms of his seats that we find formulas launched if not imagined by him. Many of its seats are thus based on tapered legs with rudent grooves. These feet are connected to the belt by a die or box, decorated with a rosette.
